Supple fishbot survives jaunt to the deepest part of the ocean

The deepest regions of the oceans still remain one of the least explored areas on Earth, despite their considerable scientific interest and the richness of lifeforms inhabiting them. Two reasons for this are the low temperatures and enormous pressures exerted at such depths, which require the exploration equipment be carefully shielded inside high-strength metal or ceramic chambers to withstand them. This makes deep-sea exploration vessels bulky, expensive and unwieldy, as... Read more â€ș

Germany has enough lithium for 400M EVs, but extracting it won’t be easy

Germany has struck gold! Well, not gold, but it’s the electric vehicle equivalent. It’s actually discovered a rich vein of lithium, the precious metal that’s a vital ingredient in electric vehicle batteries.

This new robotics challenge could bring us closer to human-level AI

Since the early decades of artificial intelligence, humanoid robots have been a staple of sci-fi books, movies, and cartoons. Yet, after decades of research and development in AI, we still have nothing that comes close to the Jetsons’ Rosey the Robot. This is because that many of our intuitive planning and motor skills—things that we take for granted—are a lot more complicated than we think. Navigating unknown areas, finding and... Read more â€ș

How robot muscles could be built from DNA-inspired ‘supercoiling’ fibers

The double helix of DNA is one of the most iconic symbols in science. By imitating the structure of this complex genetic molecule we have found a way to make artificial muscle fibers far more powerful than those found in nature, with potential applications in many kinds of miniature machinery such as prosthetic hands and dextrous robotic devices. The power of the helix DNA is not the only helix in... Read more â€ș

EU charges Apple with breaking antitrust laws and robbing you of cheaper music

Apple is in the EU’s crosshairs once again. The European Commission has charged the iPhone maker with breaking antitrust laws by imposing unfair rules on distributing apps via the App Store. The EU’s executive arm accused Apple of abusing its market power in two ways: forcing developers to use Apple’s own in-app payment system — which gives the tech giant a 30% cut — and banning them from informing customers...
